Unremarkable event Editor437 (talk) 03:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

No less remarkable than a US based University's (see: University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt) Scavenger Hunt. This is very remarkable, being the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere.

 * Delete. No sources to document the notability of this event. I note also that the most recent AfD, found at Articles for deletion/University of Melbourne Scavenger Hunt, established a consensus to delete the article, and it is unclear that the event's notability has increased sufficiently to overturn that result. It's possible, even, that this article should be deleted under Speedy criteria G4 (repost of content deleted by AfD), which I'll review. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No G4, as this is new text. In the absence of sources, though, I'd have to stick with Delete - though I'll continue to search. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:03, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete student event at a single school. The Chicago one needs to go too, but that's another matter. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Thoroughly NN by any criteria I can think of. It's a mystery how it survived AFD 2. Debate   木  15:44, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the "/old" afd is the first one from 2006, which ended as Keep. Articles for deletion/University of Melbourne Scavenger Hunt is actually the second nom, and ended in June 2007 as Delete. The current nom is actually the third, and if it wouldn't bugger the formatting six ways from sunday, I'd move them around to the proper order. Meh.

 * Delete: Only of internal University interest. Non-notable to the general community.-- Lester  20:38, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V, as I can't find any non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources (ZERO Google News hits, and just 78 Ghits). By contrast, the Chicago scavenger hunt has at least a NY Times article. That argument is not relevant anyway. --N Shar (talk · contribs) 23:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
